There was a guy who played this 1/2 a year ago at champs. His list is buried somewhere in the PDF scans. Or @whienot may have transposed it in another thread. Full on Bazaar / Hollow, but he played Survival because it's stone insane with all of this.

The first deck listed has no disruption. It'll probably get wrecked by anything with a combo-type win (either dedicated combo like storm or something like tinker-colossus in blue). Is this deck faster than aggro shops?

I put 4 leyline in maindeck for combo, but I think your right. Its as fast as shops.

The survival build I think requires vengevine and rootwalla and probably should just play magic bullets in the main. I dont think adding hollow one really ups its power level from what it already did with just the rootwallas, mostly because they are just there to trigger things. If you can go off with lumberjack or other ramp you are probably favored to win regardless of the trigger creatures.

The burning inquiry build is far more interesting to me since you can mutilate an opponents hand with it, and who the hell is going to want to counter inquiry? It's a great way to force them to use missteps if you can capitalize on it.

Also, any build with survival really should run a singleton elvish spirit guide right? Just to power out some vengevine hands?

@protoaddct wake me up when Misstep is restricted and I'll consider banking on Inquiry. The sotf build benefits greatly from Hollow One because you get the same free bazaar kills plus you have the resiliency of sotf.

Nice, and GGs again! I'm going to try to make time to stream this sometime soon, the deck is hilarious, powerful, and a breath of fresh air. Do you have any tips for people playing this that might not be completely obvious at first glance?

@hierarchnoble honestly I’m not sure how to verbalize them ‍️ The range of keeps is somehow higher and lower than you might expect. Sometimes Survival is all you want to do, sometimes Bazaar is your plan, and others you just cast some Rootwallas and attack a bunch while they play Preordains. Sideboarding is difficult sometimes- I usually cut a Vengevine and a Hollow One until I know what their plan of hate is going to be (Faithless Looting and DRS are others that can be shaved if you expect Leyline or RiP)

I’ll think about it some and maybe try to write up some tips. But for sure practice with it before you take it into a league, it isn’t always easy to figure out what you’re supposed to be doing!

Posted a 4-1 in league tonight. Lost the last round to aggro shops. His game 1 had 3 dudes on 1 and Lodestone, Metamorph on 2. Game 3 was very close and I think I made a mistake but I’m not totally sure, I think I should’ve won to go 5-0 but ‍️

@wfain Any Chance of recording some gameplay? I tried picking up the deck but mulligans and sideboarding are hard as hell.
That being said this deck is exactly what I imagined as a survival deck in vintage soon as hollowone spoiled so thank you for figuring out a list.

Edit: What are your thoughts on a single memnite to enable low mana vengevine plays?

@bleedth3sky I hadn’t consider memnite, could let us make vine off 1 forest. I’ll try one out! Great idea!
I’m also gonna mess around with Bomat Courier instead of Faithless Looting for a few practice games just for fun.
Sideboarding can be tricky. Usually shave a Vengevine and a Hollow One until you know which hate to play around. You don’t need Wonder vs anything but Dredge, maybe Shops, and Young Pyromancer decks. I’ll often cut Vamp Tutor against counterspell decks. Forest can go out if your opponent doesn’t have Wasteland.
I can’t record anything, no. Best I can do is some screen shots. I’ll try to post some tomorrow.

@wfain I've been messing around with your list minus Libraryand 1 Dork and am trying running impactful 3-drops to follow up a countered survival. The only two I really found were Dack who plays great with all the creatures and Leovold as a straight hatebear against Bargain storm and PO decks which are very hard to win vs if we don't explode.

Shops tho no matter what seems unwinnable. Kataki helps but fetching for white then drawing looting sucks and ballista makes sure birds are never around. Ingot chewer isn't good enough when they board into an aggro plan and flood the board so maybe try and jam energy flux's like landstill with ingot chewers to clear spheres? Or is EoT Hurkyls and try and play like storm the plan?

Teeg also seems really bad vs PO decks as they just go turbo tinker mode and win with blightsteel which teeg doesn't stop.
